A Mid-October Night’s Dream
October 25, 2021
The lovers walk in the haunted forest
Deviously, the fairies near begin
Love oblivious to the torture nest
Tale of prophecy emerging within
Spewing conflict till it is off the brink
The fairies come upon the sleeping brood
They unravel invisible the links
The restless lovers wake to a new mood
All the lovers come together, resting
They circle all their resting prey, stalking
Unconscious of the horror infesting
Just maybe, the spirit of fall talking
The witches tie the links as more will come
The incognito fairies close their home
